Phil. ArmouY's Charity,

Not long ago a Chicago clergy man
called on Phil Armour in behalf of
young woman whom he had found
destitute, with an infant of few days
to care for. Armuor gave the clergy
man a sum of money and did not
think OF the matter until few hours
later, when the clergy man returned, and
handing him the money, told him the
child had been born out Of wedlock and
therefore the young woman was not
deserving of charity. Armour, like a
man, showed the minister the door,
and then started out to hunt up the
young woman on his own hook. He
found her IN condition even worse
than the minister had told him, and i'm
me,liately went and told his wife, With.
in an hour the wife of the man of mill
ions was Oh her way to the young
woman's home with such necessities
and little luxuries as her womanly
heart suggested. Thecreat pork pack
or and business man showed himself
a better Christian than the clergyman,
whose sense of nroprlety was stronger
than his humanity. 1t is we'll for the
world that most clersymen are not
quite 50 proper and prim as the Chi
cago divine.

A Philadelphia judge has decided
that a man who cannot, or does not,
read the newspapers is not properly
qualified for jury service. The decis-
ion IS a sound and sensible one and lift
is not good law it ought to be. The
usual supposition that an intelligent
knowledge of case disqnalifies man
as a juror, is a relic OF an age when
newspapers were few and newsgather-
ing, III the modern sense, unkno wn.
New conditions modify everything,
and this IS one point at which the
system OF jury trial needs radical and
intelligent modification.

A Secret Printed Years AGO.

Sioux City Special: The death OF Elihu
B: Washburne suggests a page OF history
which the Sioux City Journal prints for
the first time. Mr.. Washburne was ap.
pointed secretary of state by Grant as a
temporary expedient: The tacit, if not ex-
pressed. understanding was that Mr..
Washburne should hold the secretary OF
state office, but not undertake to
shape it's policy, as it was the
intention OF Gen. Grant to tender the
place to James F. Wilson, now United
States senator from Iowa. Mr.. Wash.
burne was appointed, but contrary to Mr..
Wilson's expectations, began at once to
effect a permanent organization of the of.
fee and to made foreign appointments
Mr.. Wilson thereupon declined to consider
the subject further. Secretary Washburne
was soon sent to France and Hamilton
Fish succeeded him in the cabinet. This
revelation comes from Senator Wilson.
